Yes it will help.

Find another place where Exhausts are being stolen. Get me some proof.

Happened to my buddy in Imperial Beach, CA.


Nice try though!

Maybe it was a statement from a vandal neighbor not to drive loud cars around his area, just that what he did just made the car louder

that's pretty low. I live in a nice neighborhood but twice now someone has broke into crap daily driver honda accord and dug through the glovebox (left contents on passenger seat, and left driver's door wide open).

I think they're looking for a garage door opener. I didn't have one in there and now I'm anxious about leaving openers in any of my cars that are parked outside.

Sorry for your loss

Sucks to hear.

LB parking sucks, you're lucky if you find parking anywhere near your home unless you have a garage. Security always gives me **** for parking by the beach on the corner of Ocean & Alamitos when I hit my buddy's house from time to time.

+1 stay in Cali and don't move to Washington like everyone else!

Seriously though - that's terrible. Just goes to show how low people can act. Hopefully what goes around comes around for them.

Time to start reconsidering staying at the GFs place. I absolutely won't leave my car outside overnight...even in my own driveway. I live in a fairly decent area, but I know that cars like Evos and STis are targets for petty theft.

Not sure why people think moving out of CA will resolve the situation.

Well like I said, I usually drive my other DD. But since it was a day off on monday. We had some drinks and I thought I'd stay at her place. And I was driving my car. I love CA... me no leave. We're already looking for a place. Somewhere that has better parking at least. Just like what larrykeen said, that area is just hell hole...

Break-in stories like that always amaze me.. Some ppl have no morals at all. "Hmmm I need an exhaust, oh wait a minute, why buy it? -this one looks good!!"

Sucks... Sorry to hear

Potheads are too stoned to think to pull an exhaust off.
